Right now, unless I hear otherwise we now have 22 players in the tournament. VCX1302 and Goekawar are the additions. I put VCX on the Axis side and Goekawar will be on the Allies to keep things moving. They will both play each other in the first round.

VCX and Goekawar, please confirm that you have read this message and are in the tournament. Post your confirmation here. Thanks.

Thank you guys. I'm really looking forward to play Eric's scenario's against some of the best players around.

I hereby confirm my participation to this tournament.

Greetings and have fun!

VCX1302

Welcome to our noble and needy cause VCX! You may be the vital drop that spills our bucket of victory all over the Allies, the straw that breaks their back, the butterfly effect that changes the course of history...

Great job commanders. That round went by very quickly. The next battle and ONLY beach scenario is Operation Chariot/St. Nazaire Raid. It was considered 'The Greatest Raid of All' for the British commandos. With the new D-Day maps coming out this June I didn't want to overdo it. I did have a scenario from D-Day but we are not going to use it. Operation Chariot will be posted tomorrow.

Tank Commander you will now make the line-ups.

I will post that later today.

Sorry all. It was a bit hectic after work yesterday and thus I never got around to this.

Operation Chariot/St. Nazaire Raid is now online. Tank Commander and Jeronimon will now let me know if they want to use any reserve units. Remember, these scenarios were written NOT taking into account any reserve units. Obviously the reserve unit may alter the outcomes dramatically.

A remark and question about the choice infantries:
remark: Eric, could you update the first post here with the choice infantries. Some of my men still though there were two normal infantries on the reserve list.

Question: the choice infantries, what can they be:
Regular infantry
Engineers
special forces
sniper
ski troops
anti tank gun (The online version that is the early war version, no moving and shooting)

These are not implemented online line yet, so I think not, but if they are:
mortar
Machine gun
Brandenburgers
Cavalry

And since I saw the french resistance run around and encountered stiff upper lip today
Italians?
Japanese hired guns? (this is a stretch I confess, but they could be over here to advise the Germans, no? )

Yeah, thanks Jero, for confirming that. I looked at the first post again and thought the use of choice infantry in the stats table was weird, but I just went back to Eric's further update and see it says your choice. So, it would be good to know what is available. Wouldn't it be fun to throw a banzai shock unit in there!

or some ski troops to ride those dunes!
or Finnish water ski troops to skim out through the estuary and attack the water bound enemy!

The choices for the 4 infantry units are 2 special force infantry AND 2 infantry of your choice. The only units that work online are engineers, Finnish ski troops(they would be 3 figures not 4), early war anti-tank, and sniper(1 figure) for the Germans. The Allies could use a French Resistance unit(3figures) if they wanted. Nothing else works at this time.

I even managed to tan a little in the Uk of all places. We had some nice sunshine.
Visited Legoland Windsor, Chessington Park and the biggest themepak of Wales: Oakwood! And after that a small week with family in a cabin somewhere.

So the score stands at 4-4 this round and three matches remaining:
Jaykay v VCX1302
MIchelle v IGH (Michelle probably just back from the states, how was it?)
Gheintze v Myself

I have PM-d Geoff, but my time window the coming two week is extremely limited also. Geoff and I will try to get together somewhere these weeks, but if that does not work I will be available the weekend of the 17th.

If ours is the last match to be played we will move on to the next round, making match-ups will be no problem. (I will have internet acces (tablet and phone) but limited acces to a computer that can play M44, Come on Dow produce M44 for iPad in the next 24 h )

Any delay this round between me and Geoff, Geoof is not to blame. This is totally due to my schedule at the beginning of the themepark season. New parks and coasters have to be visited. I am just a junky.

CinC Jeronimon:

You might want to check out this thread (particularly the posts by Kelly's Hero):

We now move on to round 3. Very close after 22 matches with the score 12-10 Allies.

As I said before, there will be no other beach landing scenarios. With the new mega board D-Day maps coming up soon I felt it was hopeless to compete with them here. So, we now move on to June 13th, 1944. The Allies have just taken Carentan on the 12th and the Germans realize that it is critical to recapture it to use as a base to counterattack the Allied beachheads. The Allies did not have enough time to dig in so the town is up for grabs. In the mists of early morning the American paratroopers can hear the rumble of Panzers approaching the town...

Jeroen and John will look it over and decide if they want to use any reserve units and Jeroen will make the matchups.

The scenario is Counterattack at Carentan(online). This scenario is based on an Overlord scenario of mine of the same name. Check it out on the Scenarios From the Front page.

We still need to hear from Tank Commander and Jeronimon to see if they want to place any reserve units. Jeronimon can still place one on his second row. Only if his first row is taken up are you allowed to use the second row. I don't think he was aware of that and I will wait for confirmation before we proceed.
